To all whom itmutyconcern:' r r Be it'known that I, ITENBY DJIQUILING,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie andgStateor 5 New Yorlnhave invented anew-and useful Improvement i'nf Bib Mountings, ot which the follow ng is a specification.

In :the shipment otfloil. 1n-. the UClluil) or vesselqtrom which it 1s dispensed- 1t -1ses sential that the said drum be completely is employed to draw the oiL-trom-the; drum is not; "titted i-nthe discharge opening but isarrangcd within the drum, and the "cap which closes the filling opening is nt for its supportythe' "discharge opening being closed by a bung. "W'hen it-is desired -to dispenseoil ir'omthe drum the cap which i closes the filling-opening -;is removed and the "bib is detached therefrom afterwhich the cap is replaced and the bung bein'g removed thebib ,is fitted in "the discharge opening sothat it may be used toda'aw oil from the drum: V l 'J This invention relates to a transit mounting of the bib and its object istoQprovide.

simple and economical meanstoi connecting it to, the 'cap of-the filling opening an supportfby such cap, as above explained, the said means by its co-operative combina tion with the cap and the bibsecurelyholding the bib in place and aifordiing facility in the connection and disconnection Qthe r atively -heter- The invention is illustrated in the ac companying drawing, wherein Figure leis a. partial sectional View of a drum showing the bib supported by the cap through the agency of a transit mounting o-f either of the forms herein disclosed or of any other form falling within the scope of the invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view of the cap as fitted upon the drum and showing details of the mounting of the bib, the form shown in this figure being preferred as now coni sidered.

The cur-ted: wall of the recess 1 is tormed, ata suitableadistance from thebase otsaid uecess, with an annulargroove which provides a seating for the element -by which thelbib :is con} nectel to and thereby supported from the 3P As shown in- Figures Q- and 5 this con 7 end of theloib. Thebib is secured to the cap by engaging yits threaded attachment end with" the inner circumferential edge i of the key 3 and threading the bib through the opening delimited by such edge which heating element is in-the gtorni o twa split it co-operates withthe threadson the bib to I causethe bib .to lnove toward the base of the recess 1. v This movement of the bib is continued until its end face abuts the base of the recess 1. The inner edge portion of the key '3 will obviously be distorted consequentto its conformation to the threads of thebib and thereby the free ends of the key 3 will at their relatiyely sharp inner corners engage the threaded shank of the bib with lock-washer effect, such en.- gagement preventing accidental backward turning movement of the bib but offering no obstacle to the ordered turning movement of the bib when it is desired to disconnect the same from the cap C.

After the drum 1) is filled for shipment Q 7 V 1,544,345 I the cap C with the key 3 sprung into posi 'tion in the groove 2 thereof is connected to the bib B in the manner above described, after which the'cap is screwed home in the filling opening in the usual manner in order to close the drum, the bib being supported by the cap and projecting'from'the same into the drum, as shownin Figure 1; VVhen it is desired to draw oil from the drum for the usual purpose of retail sales thecap G is removed and thebib B disconnected from the same by unscrewing it from the key 3, after which the cap, with the key 3 in osit-ion therein and ready for re-use, is rep aced in the filling opening and screwed home; The bung Z) is then removed and the bib B substituted. V p

In the alternative .constructionshown in Figures 6, 7 and 8 the key, in these figuresdesi na ted as 3 is fashioned of' resilient wire and includes two opposing curved outer portions 3 which engage in the groove 2, two opposing curved inner portionsB which engage the convolution of the threaded shank of the bib, a bow portion 3 which connects the portions 5 to one another and also engages in the groove 2 at a point between the ends of the portions 3", and two bow portions 3* which connect the portions' 3 to the portions 3 The portions 3 at their ends adjacent'the bow portions 3 may,

'as shown, be slightly offset at opposite sides of the common plane of the portions 3 to obtain a lock-washer effect in connection with thethreads on the attachment shank ofthebib. 1 a i 2.
